Over Here! A Show!

Over Here! A Show! was a concert held on April 21, 2023, organized by Flex Entertainment hip-hop artist Beetlebat in support of his debut mixtape "Be Dumb Bro" and recent single "Over Here". He's the only Flex artist to put on two concerts. The concert was held at the Pierson 319 in St. Johns, Michigan, attended by 10-15 people.

Background
Towards the end of the music video for "Over Here", Beetle revealed the poster for his second ever concert scheduled for April 21, 2023, at Pierson 319. It was set to be even "wilder" than the first. He confirmed the show would start at 10 PM. There was a fee of five dollars. He would promote the show through social media and hung-up multiple posters in his hometown.

Concert
The recently constructed building was in the downtown area of Saint Johns, consisting of tables, chairs, and old photos. There were concert posters pastured throughout with a sound and light system provided by the owners. Notable people in attendance were fellow Michigan Flexer Twisted Wizard and collaborators Vandee and Ben Riggle. There was no opener for the show.

The show kicked off with trailer music before dropping into his most recent single "Over Here." With his leather jacket on tight, he would perform the entire song. "Session" would be next which he would only perform the first verse and hook from. "Put In The Work" from the "Be Dumb Bro" deluxe and "Fresh" were thrown on to pump up the small crowd. During "Fresh", a random drunk couple from the street started dancing outside. After these four tracks, Beetle welcomed Vandee up to the stage to perform "The Grocery List Song" as a duo for the first time. This was a full-circle moment for Beetle after having months of scheduling issues with the man. He would take a short break to introduce himself.

After the break, Beetle threw on a new shiny outfit from his Michael Jackson costume to perform a mash-up of "Turn It Up" and "Jam" from Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" He would do a freestyled dance number to switch things up and show off his moves. This part of the concert received a massive reaction from the Flex Entertainment community. He would continue the banger section of the concert with hits "Innocent", "Diagnosis", and "Blackout." The mosh pit featuring Ben Riggle, Vandee, Domumus, and Twisted Wizard was said to be a "bizarre crossover" from Beetle. The tired musician took a short break to catch his breath. He spoke to the crowd a bit more about his upcoming second mixtape "Desire" which he plans to release in August.

For the first time, he performed an unreleased single "Desire" without backing vocals. Beetle described it as "nerve racking" but excited to put out the studio version in the future. Mosquito suggested for him to use autotune. After that, he played "Moneymaker" which led to solo versions of collaboration singles "Patrol" and "This Year." However, he brought out Ben Riggle for "Sun Goes Down" which was said to be the best performance of the night. Riggle had travelled from Indiana to do this.

Beetle took one final break to talk about the next song "Forgiveness." This was dedicated to Vandee who he said he has "forgiven" for the last few months. He would wrap up the concert with "Physics" and "On The Regular." The previous saw him perform a Trumpet solo of the chorus, being a former High School band member.

Attendance
The attendance for the concert was 10-15 people, a large decrease from his previous show where he packed up 40-50. Beetle was very disappointed by the capacity but thought his own performance was a huge improvement. The low attendance could have come down a several factors including the show being held during the Spring season/final exam week. There were also several unrelated events like Prom and sports that most of his audience had involvement in. In response, Beetle said he'd never do a concert during the Spring again due to how unbelievably busy it is. Another issue was the late notice for the event with only a week for people to know about it. He confirmed there would be another concert in August.
